Poor Hugh

I had picked up a couple sets of bunny ears, all soft and fuzzy, for Ruby and Sadie. As we were preparing to package them up to send them off to the kids, I was struck by a bit of whimsy. (I probably shouldn't be telling you this!) So I put them on and slipped my house coat off. I snuck, naked except for fuzzy bunny ears, around the corner to look at myself in the mirror.

The sight struck me very, very, funny.

I started to laugh.

Now I was shaking, belly and arse jiggling like apoplectic jello.

This led to that horrid, uncontrollable, s'not sound we make when s'not laughing, s'not crying but there's certainly snot involved.

This is when Joe walked in from shopping.

He looked at me.

Naked, in bunny ears.

Normally Joe laughs at everything. He's easily amused.

This time though he just looked at me, deadpan, and said, 'And all Hugh Hefner gets is a mansion.'

So funny, love this! I seriously think you and Joe should do an Easter card with a photo of you both naked in bunny ears, maybe with strategically-placed furniture or easter baskets or something to keep them family-friendly.

WOW - thanks for such a great visual image to start my day! Thanks for the image, and the smiles, and for sharing a glimpse into "dave and joe." I've been with my husband for over 30 years, and we can still get each other laughing at the craziest stuff. when the going is rough, the giggles from our versions of 'bunny ears' are the glue that keeps us together.

Doing the laughing and crying along with the snort thing here....the Easter Bunny has just take on a new visual ......thanks so much for the laugh and the jiggle :) And I agree very brave post......Absolutely love you both!!!

cookie consent

In the real world there should never be an issue regarding consent and cookies, particularly chocolate chip. However, I have been informed that I need to inform you about cookies that may be involved somehow with this blog and with Blogger. I an in my mid sixties and don't really know what cookies are .... here is something from the notice I got:

Google uses of certain Blogger and Google cookies, including use of Google Analytics and AdSense cookies.

So be aware of that, and I am assuming implied consent because you know that and come back. Of course, you may choose not to come back. This is why I'm suggesting implied consent. I tried finding a proper code for announcing this and couldn't. I hope you come back, and I hope you occasionally have a real world cookie, especial on days that are raining ... or sunny ... or cloudy ...
